This is a perfect spot for backpackers or people spending just a short time in Bangkok. It is about an hour away from Grand Palace and Wat Pho, and about 30 minutes from Sukumvit (both using the MRTA/BTS). Ken's place looks just as depicted in photos. The neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet and everyone is super friendly. I arrived late (around 10:30pm) and as I walked to the place one neighbor in a car stopped and made sure I knew where I was going. The only minor drawback for me was that the floor and one of the tables were still dusty/dirty from the previous visitors, and the towel left blue fuzz everywhere. Everything else: bed/linens/bathroom were very clean and fresh. Also, Ken was super flexible with storing my bags after check-out while I toured the city some more before needing to leave!
